The annual mass meeting in the interest of the track team was held in the Assembly Room of the Union last evening. Captain Lightner explained that the meeting was planned to bring out as many new men as possible. In order to form a successful team, he said that it would be necessary for a much larger number of men to report than ever before. A track and field meet open only to new men who report within the next few weeks, will be held on Soldiers Field some time during May. Squads in preparation for this meet will work at the Gymnasium next Monday at 11, 12, 3.30 and 4.30 o'clock and thereafter will report daily at the same hours. The shot-putters will be coached by C. H. Robinson '04, the hammer-throwers by W. T. Piper '03, and the hurdlers by J. H. Converse 2M.

At the meeting last night brief addresses were made by Professor Hollis, Mr. E. J. Wendell '82, Mr. G. B. Morrison '83. Mr. W. F. Garcelon '95, Mr. J. W. Hallowell '01, and J. H. Converse 2M.
